US climber scales Taiwan’s tallest building Taipei 101 without ropes

TAIPEI: US climber Alex Honnold scaled the Taipei 101 skyscraper without ropes or safety netting on Sunday, watched by thousands of cheering and waving fans as he clambered up one of the world’s tallest buildings. “Sick,” Honnold said as he got to the top spire of Taiwan’s tallest building after his 91-minute “free solo” ascent, which was organized and broadcast live by Netflix. “What a beautiful way to see Taipei,” he told reporters after his mission, which ‌was postponed by ‌a day due to wet weather.
